Clouds calmly combine
To celebrate love for my poetry
Echoes resound
***
Hope sleeps on clouds
Drifts with their rolling rings
Conjuring its own path
***
Light shines through clouds
Inspires us to trust new horizons
Cynicism recedes
***
We fly on the waves of whim
When our dreams get wings
Clouds crumble to comply

Those are some excerpts from my upcoming book. Thank you.
On the first day of the New Year, I stepped out to see the change. Same sky, cloudless. No traces of much needed rain. Same sounds of cars whizzing past. Muffled faces. And then I saw him in the corner – HOPE! All bundled up, still shivering! I looked at him with expectant eyes.
“Procrastinator! Are you illusionary?” I sneered at him.
He spoke to me:
“I know you love me
I know you hinge on me
When you tread on darker paths
I know I inspire you.”
“And you take pleasure in elusive tricks?”
“ I have my constraints
I float on the tide of time
I possess no magic wand
I hold a mirror to your ways.
“Sometimes I get caught
In the currents of cacophony
Discords and disharmonies
Pull me down, make me dormant.”
“And so you walk out?”
“I am always around
I whisper through the breeze
I glisten in your heart
I blend in your prayers.
“I absorb all words, perceptions and actions
My strings are stronger than faith
Those who hang on get rewarded
But your own role matters most.

As darkness dissipates
And the sun ushers in 2021,
Let the colors of hope sheath
All that we leave behind
And stride ahead with smiles.

A cerulean fairy is beckoning me
Near the waterfall,
Beyond the snowy peaks,
Above the silvery clouds
I am entranced by her fragrance.
She is taking me to an idyllic land
Where smiles are not hidden
Behind the masks.
A land luminous with buoyancy,
Nothing less than Elysium.
She illuminates my conviction
Her light calms all worries,
Picks all the splinters
Invisible hope shimmers around her
With unwrap-able gifts.
I’ll be back with that hope.
Leaving behind the monsters of 2020
I am flying with the holiday fairy
If you want to join us
Just look at the horizon and smile.

Abandoned princess
Sits by the dark pond, ordained
To usher in light
Her tresses create that magic
The dilemma of drenching haunts.

Dendrophilous dame
Held captive by clawed tentacles
Enigmatic entity

A statue comes alive
When darkness encompasses her
Spiritual sojourn
